When we arrived back at her house I took some quick shots of her flowers, they were so pretty. As we said our goodbyes and hit the road, I casually mentioned to Stan I had seen something that had caught my eye.
So as we made our way back to our room we took a little detour. I told him I had seen something on the side of one of the buildings I just really wanted to check out.
He asked where it was and of course my response was “I’m not sure, I know it was downtown close to where they are building the new stadium.” As we were getting closer I could feel the excitement in me building. And at last I saw it. “There it is!” I exclaimed. We turned on 13th and gradually drove closer. He pulled over at a stoplight before we got to Webster and I took a few pictures.
Then I looked down the side of the building and was overwhelmed. We drove down 13th and parked across from the building. Oh my gosh, it was beautiful! And of course I started taking pictures. The pictures do not do it justice, if you are ever in Omaha make sure you check it out. This mural is 32,500 square feet. It is on the side of the Energy Systems Building, and is titled “Fertile Ground.” You can find more information about it here. I just cannot imagine being able to paint something like this. I mean it almost speaks to you, and it says so much, if you will just really look and concentrate on the pictures.
Is that not beautiful?

ReplyDeleteThat is pretty! There is a building in Phila. with a mural on its side that I love driving by. I wish I were artistic : ) I love to look though!

Hi Nel-
ReplyDeleteMy name is Janera Jepson and I host the new Wednesday meme Wednesday Wickedness (http://jjatww.blogspot.com). Don't let the tame throw you. We are a family oriented meme that's similar to Linda's Random Dozen. We base our questions each week on quotes from someone famous. This week is Frank Sinatra. Since Linda is taking time off I thought I'd invite you to play during the hiatus. We always post on Tuesdays (we're up now!) so players can play on either day. We hope that you will join us! :)
